The Arrowhead Jazz Band brings together National Park Service Rangers and local musicians to perform traditional New Orleans jazz, blues, gospel, and original compositions.
Join New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park Rangers Jade Perdue (vocals/keyboards), Matt Hampsey (guitar), Kerry Lewis, Sr. (bass), and Hunter Miles Davis (drums), Intern Saskia Walker (vocals), and Intern Tim Brown II (percussion/vibraphone), with special guest Catie Rodgers (trumpet) for an exploration of jazz music styles.
One of the City’s most versatile brass players, Catie Rodgers enjoys an adventurous career that crosses genres and keeps the phone ringing year after year. Catie joined the faculty at Loyola in 2023 thanks to an endowment given by the late Connie Jones, one of her former teachers. Catie hopes to inspire her students to carry on the torch of heartfelt music making, and to train them so well that she sees them at all her gigs…on the bandstand!
Catie Rodgers is a graduate of The University of New Orleans. She leads the traditional jazz band, The Gentilly Stompers, as well as Catie Rodgers & Her Swing Orchestra, an 18-piece big band specializing in music for dancers. Memorable “side musician” work includes the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, the Latin Grammy Winning mariachi band Flor de Toloache, NYC’s salsa band Lulada Club, and playing with the daughters of Louis Prima and Judy Garland (Lena Prima and Lorna Luft, respectively). Important mentors and teachers include Connie Jones, Banu Gibson, Matt Perrine, and Doug Reneau.
